Good morning girls.
No body has posted since my last post last night. So I don't guess I have anyone to address. My day has started good and hope yours does too. I'll check in later.
TTYL

What am I doing wrong? Why do my new posts keep ending up as a "reply" to my earlier post??? That's weird. Do I just need to reply in the "quick reply" box?

Please don't miss my earlier post - it's my weigh-in results for my first week Want to remain accountable to ya'll

I'll re-post it to make it easier for you - so you don't have to go back through everything:

Well, gals, it's my first weigh-in day . . . and the results????

1 lb loss; 172 lbs!!!

I think it would have been greater if I hadn't slipped up a bit, but a loss is a loss, right ladies???

And, since I promised myself a little reward for every week there's a loss, this weeks reward is a scrapbooking idea book (I'm an avid scrapbooker, so a lot of my rewards will relate to that. Like Dr. Phil says, you have to "find what motivates you"! )

Geri - I'm glad you had such a great day. That's awesome!

I'll be back a bit later, I'm sure, to see how ya'll are doing.

Leigh - congrats on your loss! I'm battling pre-TOM cravings, too

Crystal - glad you day is off to a good start. Today I am going to check out meals.com per your suggestion. Glad flylady is helpful - sounds like DH could be more so. But it sounds like he is coming around

Spryng - know you must miss dh, but good for you to stay on your program and have such success and wrangle those kiddos to boot.

Penny - I'm having troubles staying OP also - we'll send OP vibes to each other today!. I'm battling munchies bad due to PMS. I'm going to try drinking more water and green tea today and see if that helps. Let's see, I got my walk in yesterday, ate about 500 too many calories - not good

I'm in "purge" mode 'round the house. Yesterday I went through the kids' clothes, and filled two big trash bags for Goodwill. Couldn't believe how much had accumulated - and how fast they are growing. Today is books and toys

So - today is another day. Hope everybody has a great day

Good morning all!
Sorry I didn't get back on here last night. Between watching a movie, and american idol and then getting the kids in bed and then my bedtime routine and then a shower I was beat. So I just went to bed.
Rosie your purge mode sounds great! Keeps you busy and moving. I think all this extra cleaning we have been doing should count as exercise!
Leigh, congrats on the 1# gone!!!! That is really great. That is one lb you'll never have to lose again! I've never really looked into scrapbooking but I'm glad you found something that you can make as a reward! Mine is usually clothes.
Crystal, hope you have a great day! Does your sister have fast labors since she's already had 7 kids?? I still can't get over that number. I saw cheaper by the dozen the other day and I thought 3 kids was alot! LOL. I don't see how your body could recover from that many pregnancies. And I have fell in love with flylady too. I guess it's weird how keeping a clean house makes me feel so good about myself. But before I starting her routines I would hit and miss on cleaning and heaven forbid someone unexpectedly stop by, I would have been embarrased if it was a day I didn't start cleaning until the evening. But now my house is clean everyday and looks so nice and smells so nice! lol. My Dh could see a difference in me because of it and that made me feel even better. I checked out that organizedhome.com and they have great things to print and such but I still like flylady more. The 15 min a day is a great thing for me. After I get all the zones done my house will be spectacular and only take me 15 min a day to maintain!!! That is what is really motivating me.
Penny, please don't be down on yourself. Maybe it's time to ditch SB and try something that you don't have to go off plan for. I know you lose well on SB but it's not easy for you to do 100% of the time. We are here for you! Don't give up and don't feel bad about posting even if you were off plan. Goodness knows I do it enough ,lol. I hope today is a better day for you.
Geri, I've been wanting that red head to go for some time on Idol. He's just not versatile enough. I really liked Diana's performance. She is so young with such talent. Who do you think will be in the bottom 3 tonight? I think it will be the red head, Diana (not because she is bad but because she is usually there) and Jennifer. But we'll see tonight. Let's hope red leaves. And I thought your name for TOM was so funny. He really is, lol. Hope you work those cookies off today
Michelle, sounds like you are trying out new recipes, that is great! You have to have variety to stick to a plan I always say. When I started WW I bought new cookbooks, subscribed to cooking magazines because I didn't want to get bored with my food. And now I make it a habit to try new dishes every week.
Well, Ginny? Oh Ginny??? Where are you??? Come out come out where ever you are! I miss you!!!! Hope things are good for you! And I hope you get your WI today and see good results!!!
OK, so today I plan on getting my morning routine done, 15 min in my bedroom (today I'm cleaning off dressers, end tables, and desks) will probably take longer than 15 min, but that is ok. And then I'm just going to relax. Dinner last night was soooooo good. Country chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy and corn. Tonight is spaghetti! One of my favorite meals. What is everyone else having?
Guess I better get off here and get my day started. TTYL!!!

Starting a new thread...see you there.
